Yea I'm happy with the return here. Stocked the LD prospect cupboard with Matheson and managed to land what could be a top 20 1st to go along with my other possible top 20 1st. Also cleared the right side for Trouba and Myers to develop. We might take a step back without Byguflien's offence and snarl this season but watch out 16/17 because the Jets will be coming out hard. Don't mind the Thorburn for Thornton swap. Thornton is a bit older but he could make a decent 4th liner depth player like Thorbun was. I think both teams get what they want out of this deal.

Seems fair to me. At least you won't have to worry about Big Buff's boating incidents and tendency to show up to camp round anymore.

I've always liked Buff's game (Blackhwack here) and was disappointed that he had to leave Chicago. When I saw he was available I wanted to try and get him on my team. One of the negatives against Florida, according to the pundits (and stats), is goal scoring and I really saw Buff adding to the O while still being solid on the D end. Thorburn added a younger body in that depth position and hopefully a little better offensive output as well. The 1st rounder hurt a little, but when are you going to draft the next Byfuglien? Besides, I hope I can turn that into the 30th pick. Matheson is an exciting prospect, but again I really like Buff's game and I think he helps give Jagr and Mitchell one last stab at glory or at the least play-off hockey. Adding Byfuglien will also increase Hartford's excitement for hockey's return.
